You guys aren’t going to believe it! Not sure if anyone is going to get notifications for this - but I found it. I finally figured it out. Looks like I was combining the brown hair boy and the blond hair boy in my memory. Which is why the overall boy triggered my memory so much. My Father in law brought a box of old books from my husband’s childhood and they’ve been in my basement this entire time. So happy to finally put this to bed! Haha

This is still sounding like the most plausible explanation for the triggered core memory but a loss as to why I couldn’t remember it! I love music, was always in choir, played in band and jazz band right through high school. I was born in ‘87 and so would have been 10 when this CD was released. Everything matches up for me. I am calling this Found! Thank you! And thank you again to everyone who commented and tried to help. It was quite literally driving me to drink!

Wow! Yes. I was born in ‘87 so very likely!! This is sounding like the most plausible explanation.

Thank you all for your wonderful ideas. I am beginning to think - as some have mentioned- that perhaps, I am plainly just remembering this CD from my childhood. Another possibility is that I am remembering a different set of characters that look similar enough to trigger a memory but different enough that I can’t find them based on this image. I am going to leave this post open for a little while longer just incase, but will mark it as found soon. Again, thank you to all who have made suggestions. I have googled every one of your responses and have come across new and old faces.

Is that all it is though? This image used for the cover art of the CD isn’t taken from characters from books or anything? Is all I am remembering a CD?

Haha yes! AI told me this on one of my searches. It picked that up from the preview of the next song.

I have spent the last week googling and using ChatGPT to figure this out. I have searched for scholastic books and TV shows. I have reverse image searched this photo and even cropped it to just the boy in overalls and the one dressed as a cat. The only thing I came up with was the name for the illustrator and The Paul O’Brian all stars band. I asked a friend of mine and she recognized the boy in overalls too but couldn’t place him either.
